Russian and US officials are once again talking about the situation in Syria, or at the very least talking about the need to have new talks trying to unite against the increasingly powerful ISIS.
The talks are being presented as the start of a new diplomatic push for a political settlement on the ongoing civil war, though the signs are that the US is not taking the process all that seriously.
Secretary of State John Kerry confirmed talks with his Russian counterpart on the matter, but in the days after those Monday talks he once again was talking up “military pressure” to impose regime change in Syria as soon as ISIS is defeated.
With the US strategy in Syria already in tatters, the administration is clearly looking around for new options to claim they’re doing something productive in the war. US involvement in Syria talks will continue to be counterproductive, however, so long as they simultaneously talk up a settlement they don’t intend to honor and regime change they ultimately want to impose.
Karma has a habit of what goes around coming back around. You have to wonder if "regime change" will fall into that pattern.
Good. It's a start at least.
President Obama has supported diplomacy over war in Iran , But in Syria it sounds like Kerry prefers war to diplomacy . Why Assad is surely not more brutel than Iran's leadership ? If Iran should some how get their hands on nuclear bombs ? Obama could quickly become a bigger failure in Iran than Bush was in Iraq .
Iran and Empire USA, as they are both big governments ruled by big rich, best we can hope for is a better then the worst of all evils outcome, namely our voting majority being rewarded by their war-hawk politicians in another invasion of glory and an occupation to irrevocably corrupt the government of a hostile nation.
So, where is the mass of international populations, the total of humanity and the only ones that can prevent the rich from doing their normal and satanic thing? For if the purpose of this world is to prove the harm in it, then each and every one has an equal guilt in the doing of it.
